Apple might be diving into the world of console gaming yet again according to Shacknews and GI.bizThe patent application shows a staggering similarity to Sony's DualShock controller and what seems to be an iPhone interacting with a Microsoft Xbox360. This might be an Apple style preemptive attack against future endeavors to create apps that interface with current generation consoles or it could be something new that Apple has in the works. With the current growth in Apples market share and the growing popularity of Apple TV it shouldn't come as a surprise it would want a piece of the console pie. Whether the big three (Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo) give any leeway to Apple has yet to be seen.

Please Apple, make it super popular, then have Microsoft and Sony beat your ass in court and steal your moneyzz. You know what would be awesome? Apple donating a few billion to AMD so they can catch up to intel

If you can't make the difference between the newspost and TMMs comment, you can legally call yourself blind ffs. Even if it were in the OP it would have been blatantly obvious, but it can't be clearer in a separate post... does he have to make a 2nd account so he can post in his news stories? sheesh

Oh and TMM, you probably took words words out of everyone's mouth with that comment xD

why would you use your phone when the remote is sitting right there on your coffee table? this is pretty pointless.

looks like jobbs is pulling a tupac. still coming out with new products from beyond the grave just like tupac releasing albums still after death lol. them patenting this means someone on the android side can't release one doing the same thing.

Absolute silence without compromising performance is my only benchmark score.

Sorry, but if you patent a document with a gamepad that looks like an EXACT copy of Sony's DualShock gamepad (which existed way before Apple could even spell word console), how the hell they even have guts to accuse others of copying their garbage!?
And i wonder how this crap passed to patents anyway. And i also hope that Sony sues their asses big time for this. We don't need douchebags like Apple and their ridiculous patents...
